And t h ereupon the accused, by counsel, rested; and this

The Court instructs the jury that the accused is presume d to
be innocent until his guilt is established by t e evidence, and
that he rests secure in this presumption of innooence until proof
is adduced which establishes his guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
The Court instructs the jury that if they believe from the
evidence that the accused had in his pocket less than one pint
of liquor which he was transporting upon his person from Matthias,
test Virginia, to Roanoke, Virginia, for his own use, and if they
believe from the evidence that this was an inadvertent violation
of the law on his part, th en the jury a~e instructed tha t they

Virginia, where he was going to work, on the 11th da y of October,

The cases have been separated and arranged by the last name of the defendant. <br /><br />For more information on the Prohibition collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.

Rockingham County Prohibition Records: Criminal Cases
Description
An account of the resource
The first series of the Prohibition Records collection consists of all criminal case records associated with cases brought to the <strong>Rockingham County Circuit Court</strong> from 1916-1964. Not every individual was indicted for a criminal offense and many were simply judged as misdemeanors. The cases have been separated and arranged by the last name of the defendant. <br /><br />For more information on the Prohibition collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.

An account of the resource
The first series of the Prohibition Records collection consists of all criminal case records associated with cases brought to the <strong>Rockingham County Circuit Court</strong> from 1916-1964. Not every individual was indicted for a criminal offense and many were simply judged as misdemeanors. The cases have been separated and arranged by the last name of the defendant. <br /><br />For more information on the Prohibition collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.
